New Get a Mac ads feature some geek chic co-stars

Apple has released two new "Get a Mac" ads with well-known supporting …

Apple added two new ads to its "Get a Mac" campaign. While neither score very high on our patented Laugh-Out-Loud-O-Meter, both feature a geeky femme in a supporting role.

In the first, Breakthrough, character actress Corinne Bohrer reprises her role as an operating system therapist from 2006's Counselor. PC is having a hard time dealing with the problems caused by Vista. When the counselor and Mac point out that the problems aren't PC's fault, he has a breakthrough... almost.

The other new spot, Yoga, shows PC practicing some positions to try and relax from his Vista-related stress. The yoga instructor, played by famed supporting actress Judy Greer, is unable to contain her frustration with the latest OS from Redmond. When her anger reaches the tipping point, PC quips, "Maybe I should try Pilates?" Ha!

While the laughs are a little limp, the eye candy is appreciated, as is the fanning of my geek-crush flames towards Judy Greer. Clearly Apple is going for the 18-35 year-old lonely male nerd demographic so coveted by marketers these days.
